Vueling Pet Policy: Flying With a Dog or Cat in 2026

Hi, I'm Merlot — a 30 kg Golden Retriever and trained Service Dog. Here's Vueling's pet policy exactly as published on its own official pages: the cabin rules, the hold, what changes for trained service dogs, and booking basics. Where Vueling doesn't publish a fixed number, I say so directly instead of guessing.

Last verified: 2026-10-20. Rules change — always confirm with the airline before booking.

A worked example first, then each rule in detail.

Worked example

Does my dog fit Vueling's rules?

For a 20.0 kg Azawakh, Vueling's pet cabin and hold policy wasn't fully confirmed in our latest research pass — confirm directly with the airline before booking.

Now every rule, sourced and dated.

  1. Pets in the Cabin

    Vueling allows dogs and cats in the cabin, though a fixed weight limit is not published in the terms we could verify. Not confirmed. Add at booking, subject to availability; third-party sources say the pet add-on disappears from the booking flow once the per-flight cap is reached.

    • No official vueling.com pet page was reached in this research pass. Third-party sources conflict directly on the combined pet+carrier weight limit (8kg vs 10kg cited by different aggregators) and on the per-flight pet cap (2 vs 5), so NEITHER number is used here as confirmed. Multiple sources agree Vueling carries pets in the CABIN ONLY (no hold/checked-pet service), which is at least a consistent (though still unofficial) signal.
  2. Pets in the Hold

    Vueling does not transport pets in the cargo hold. Multiple third-party sources agree Vueling does not offer a checked/hold pet service - flagged medium-low confidence pending an official citation.
